Steamed plain mustard greens are safe for cats in small amounts, so no need to panic. Your first step is to check what else was with the greens — any butter, oil, garlic, or seasoning makes them unsafe. Next, just observe your cat for the next few hours; some cats might get a bit of gas or soft stool from new vegetables. Ensure fresh water is available. If your cat ate a large bowlful or shows vomiting, then a call to your vet is wise.
